A twist on the regular version of Eclair cake. This makes up a lot. I made a smaller pan of the extra to keep at home to eat later. If you want more ganache on top then you can increase the amounts of whipping cream and chocolate chips. My daughter had the traditional eclair cake at a party and we modified it together. Must refrigerate for several hours for the graham crackers to soften up.
